The cold spring has us a good 3 weeks behind what would be considered normal temperatures. In the last 3 springs, April has been acting more like a winter month than spring. Let’s hope this trend does not continue!

Long range forecasts have May remaining cooler, which means current spring conditions will continue. We ask all members to have patience; weather unfortunately does not follow the BGCC calendar.

Inevitably, warm weather is on its way and the course will soon be in summer mode.

And our two favourite questions will be answered :-))
